Family Tree Now Accepting Raw Data Upload Conversions from 23andMe

By Janet Crain

Those
of you who have tested at 23andMe may now upload your raw data to Family Tree
DNA to be converted to Family Finder. If you tested at the V3 platform it will
cost $50. Really a good deal as Family Finder is usually $299. It is a special
price and won't last long. The conversion is not a perfect match as some snp's
are different but with over 900,000 snp's to compare there should be
plenty.

If
you tested at the V2 level it will cost more. The way I understand it, you pay
your $50. Then when you upload it will say you don't have enough snp's and you
will then be offered a $109. special price for the Family Finder test. That is
also a really good temporary price.

Is
it worth it to have both? I think it is. You will need to download your raw data
and unzip it before you upload.

If
it uploads successfully you will get this message:

"Congratulations!
The results file you uploaded was determined to be a V3File
with more than 900,000 SNP results. Please note, uploaded results
filesAre
batch processed once a week. You will be notified by e-mail when yourResults
file has been processed.

After
your results file is processed you will be able to enjoy the manyFamily
Tree DNA features and order additional tests to uncover more aboutYour
ancestral origins."

There
was a glitch earlier but everything seems fine now.

Blackwater Creek, Vardy Valley, Hancock County Tennessee

You must know that within ten miles of this owl's nest, there is a watering-place, known hereabouts as 'black-water Springs.' It is situated in a narrow gorge, scarcely half a mile wide, between Powell's Mountain and the Copper Ridge, and is, as you may suppose, almost inaccessible. A hundred men could defend the pass against even a Xerxian army. Now this gorge and the tops and sides of the adjoining mountains are inhabited by a singular species of the human animal called MELUNGENS. The legend of their history, which they carefully preserve, is this. A great many years ago, these mountains were settled by a society of Portuguese Adventurers, men and women.
